Please, I've asked this question twice now and keep getting vague answers.
Can I use a USB crossover cable or and ethernet crossover cable to link a
new computer and old computer together using the "Files and Settings Wizard"?
The wizard only mentions a serial port/serial port cable. Thats real nice
but notebooks don't have serial ports. The wizard has a "auto detect" which
kind of implies that Windows XP will look for a connection between the old
and new pc but when I run it it just keeps going and going and does not give
any sort of answer. I'm not sure therefore whether I'm doing something wrong
or just wasting my time. Does anybody know for sure?
Thank you.
